SCLERODERMA is a long-lasting disease that affects your skin, connective tissue, and internal organs. It happens when your immune system causes your body to make too much of the protein collagen, an important part of your skin.

OSTEOARTHRITIS is the most common form of arthritis. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time.

It commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips and spine. Risk factors include age, obesity/overweight, genetics and history of trauma to the joint.

Osteoarthritis symptoms can usually be managed, although the damage to joints can't be reversed. Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight and some treatments might slow progression of the disease and help improve pain and joint function.
